Park, NJ (January 18, 2010) -Samsung Electronics America, Inc., a market
leader and award winning innovator in consumer electronics,
today extended its popular SL-Series
of digital cameras with the introduction of the
SL630. This 12.2 megapixel
point-and-shoot offers unprecedented value for the casual shooter
with a versatile 28mm wide-angle, 5x optical zoom lens, Dual Image
Stabilization, and Samsung's full range of smart features packed in
a slim, compact frame.
"Samsung
is elevating the stature of its SL-Series with models such as the new
SL630," said Mr. SJ Park, CEO of Samsung Digital Imaging Company.
"With Samsung's SL-Series, consumers can now
enjoy features such as wider-angle lenses with longer zooms, as well
as technologies such as Smart Auto, which brings incredible value to
the consumer while at the same time, giving them the ability to take
their creativity to new levels and take great photos."

Impressive
Optics

The
Samsung SL630 offers an exceptional 28mm wide-angle Samsung lens
which provides consumers with a 5x optical zoom (28mm-140mm / 35mm
equivalent), giving users the ability to capture more of a desired
scene from farther away.
Consumers
will benefit from Samsung's Dual Image Stabilization (IS)
technology, which gives them the ability to
capture crystal-clear images by combining both Optical and Digital
Image stabilizers to produce sharp images. The
Optical IS intelligently compensates for hand trembling by shifting
the lens in the opposite direction. When
Optical IS isn't quite enough, the Digital IS automatically takes
over to ensure virtually blur-free images.

Smart
Automatic Controls and Video
Recording

Samsung's
SL630 comes fully equipped with an array of automatic controls,
including Samsung's advanced scene recognition
technology known as Smart Auto. Designed
to simplify the way consumers take a photograph, Smart
Auto analyzes key elements of the composition of the image such as
color, brightness, motion, and subject, and then selects the
appropriate scene mode which will produce the best results possible.
The
SL630 also features useful auto focusing options such as object
tracking. Samsung's object tracking enables users to select any
object or area within the frame and automatically program the
camera to lock and keep its focus on the subject even if it's
moving within the frame.In
addition, the SL630 offers Samsung's Perfect
Portrait System - a series of automatic technologies which take the
guess work out of shooting beautiful portraits.
Key features of the Perfect Portrait System
include Face Detection,
Samsung's Smile Shot and Blink Detection technologies, Red Eye
Fix mode, and Beauty Shot.
Samsung
also offers standard definition video recording in the new SL630.
At a resolution of 640x480 and recording at 30
frames-per-second, consumers can switch from taking 12.2 megapixel
digital stills to recording movies.
